Neil had some recent posts that might be relevant:

Ripping out the storage from underneath your applications is a pretty
drastic step and may lose data, so NFS hasn't traditionally tried very
hard to make it easy.  But it may be possible at this point if you kill
-9 all the users and umount carefully.
